Blur: The Best Of

Parklife 

The Magic Whip

 incorporated the sounds of Madchester and Shoegazing and spawned their first UK Top 10 single, There's No Other Way. Following a stylistic change in 1992 (influenced by English guitar groups such as The Kinks, The Beatles, The Animals and XTC) Blur released &quot;Popscene&quot; as a stand alone single...

Bb            D
All I want to be
   Bb                D
Is washed out by the sea
   Bb              D
No Death Star over me
      Gm7         D
Won't give me any peace
      Gm7             D
All I want is light relief
        Bb             D
Put the crazies on the street
          Bb                 D
Give them guns and feed them meat
        Bb                   D
They'll shoot the Death Star down
      Gm7             D
Dig a hole and put it down
           Gm7        E           G
A thousand miles underground

     A           C#m7
They say it's no game
        G                         Bm
There's strange news from another star
    A         C
I'm lost, I'm lost
        G                         Em
There's strange news from another star
Bb               D
Give me all your stuff

  Bb              D
Until I can't get up
Bb                    D
Watch the whole world freeze
         Gm7             D
Counting tin cans in our sleep
     Gm7              D
Submarines are diving deep
  Bb               D
I don't believe in me
  Bb               D
I don't believe in me
         Bb           D
All I've ever done is tame
         Gm7             D
Will you love me all the same
         Gm7                 E          G
Will you love me though it's always the same

     A           C#m7
hey say it's no game

        G                         Bm
There's strange news from another star
    A         C
I'm lost, I'm lost
        G                         Em
There's strange news from another star
Em
From another star
Em
From another star
Em
From another star

Intro/verse: Amin Bmin Emin
 
Caravan is lost
In the sun and the dust
No-one loves you
When you are lost
Yeah I've been a clown
Trying to pull my whole world down
I thought I was strong
Amin Bmin C D
But you are the one

Chorus :

G A C Bmin C Bmin C D x2
And when it comes, you'll feel the weight of it
The weight of it
And the day and you'll get away from it,
Away from it

D 
Sometimes everything is easy
Sometimes everything is easy

Post-Chorus:
Amin Bmin Emin
La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

Caravan

A              Ab Bass  F#
I met him in a crowded room

             A            Ab Bass   F#
Where people go to drink away their gloom

Bm7                C#m7 D (E)    A          D         A
He sat me down and so began, the story of a charmless man

A            Ab Bass  F#                 A               Ab Bass  F#
Educated the expensive way, he knows his claret from his beaujolais

             Bm7                C#m7 D (E)
I think he's like to of been Ronnie Kray

           A            D             A
But then nature didn't make him that way



 A
He thinks he's educated, airs those family shares

C#m7   Bm7            C#m7    Bm7
Will protect him that we will respect him

 A
He moves in circles of friends

                      C#m7    Bm7
Who just pretend that they like him

   C#m7   Bm7                          E
He does the same to them, And when you put it all together

            D7                    A
There's the model of a charmless man



             A            Ab Bass    F#
He knows the swingers and their calvarly

Says he can get in anywhere for free

I began to go a little cross eyed

And from this charmless man I just had to hide



He talks at speeds he gets nosebleeds

He doesn't see his days

Are tumbling down upon him

And yet he tries so hard to please

He's just so keen for you to listen

But no one is listening

And when you put it all together

There's the model of a charmless man

Charmless Man

B, A, E, G, F, A#, C#

Verse 1:
B
Do you feel like a chain store?
A           E
Practically floored
G           F
One of many zeros
A#            C#
Kicked around bored
B
Your ears are full, but you're empty
A                E 
Holding out your heart
G                   F
To people who never really
A#           A 
Care how you are



Verse 2:
B
Do you go to the country?
   A          E 
It isn't very far
G                       F
Those people there will hurt you
A#              C#
'Cos of who you are
B
Your ears are full of the language
        A                   E 
There's wisdom there you're sure
G                    F
'Til the words start slurring
A#                     A  
And you can't find the door


Chorus:

           C#m
So give me Coffee & TV
B     A  
History 
C#m
I've seen so much
    E
I'm going blind
        A               B 
And I'm braindead virtually
     C#m
'Cos Sociability
     B               A 
It's hard enough for me
C#m                    E
Take me away from this big bad world
    
A                 D
And agree to marry me
                A
So we can start over again


D                 A
Aah, we can start over again
D                 A
Aah, we can start over again
D                 A
Aah, we can start over again

Aah, we can start over again

City dweller successful fella
 Bm
Thought to himself: "Oops, I've got a lot of money"
  D             (DbBass)        Db
I'm caught in a rat race terminally 
  A
I'm a professional cynic
  E
But my heart's not in it 
  Bm
I'm paying the price of living life at the limit 
  D             (DbBass)        Db
Caught up in the century's anxiety
   E
It preys on him, he's getting thin 

        A
Now he lives in a house a very big house in the country
         D                                              A
Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country 
                                                                E7   Eb

Oh, it's like an animal farm that's the rural charm in the country

He's got morning glory and life's a different story 
Everything's going Jackanory Touched with his own mortality 
He's reading Balzac, knocking back Prozac 
It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland 
Oh, it's a century's remedy For the faint at heart A new start 
(Try the simple life)   He lives in a house A very big house In the country 
He's got a fog in his chest So he needs a lot of rest In the country 
He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh Takes herbal baths In the country 
You should come to no harm On the animal farm In the country 

A             E               D                 A
Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why

Take your chances looking for

[Chorus]
GIRLS WHO ARE BOYS
WHO LIKE BOYS TO BE GIRLS
WHO DO BOYS LIKE THEY'RE GIRLS
WHO DO GIRLS LIKE THEY'RE BOYS
ALWAYS SHOULD BE SOMEONE YOU REALLY LOVE

Avoiding all work
Because there's none available
Like battery thinkers
Count your thoughts on 1 2 3 4 5 fingers
Nothing is wasted
Only reproduced
Get nasty blisters
Du bist sehr schon
But we haven't been introduced

[Chorus]

Girls And Boys

Am             C/G
Here comes the ice cream man
Dm                           Em
Parked at the end of the road
Am                  C/G
With a swish of his magic whip
Dm                           Em
All the people in the party froze
Am          C/G
Screwball, chocolate chip,
Dm                            Em
umbrella in his white glove hand
Am                     C/G
Shade from the sun was his intention

Am  C/G    Dm  Em (x2)


Am             C/G
Here comes the ice cream man
Dm             Em
Bouncing up the hill
Am               C/G
With a wick, the pumpkin lit
Dm                    Em
Happy valley cones he fills
Am          C/G
For all the lantern men
Dm                 Em
Marching down till dawn
Am              C/G
Morning come we fall over

              Am  C/G   Dm  Em  
Something new
              Am  C/G   Dm   Em
Something you
              Am  C/G   Dm Em
Something new 

Break: Am  C/G  Dm  Em

Am             C/G
Here comes the ice cream man
Dm                      Em
Parked at the end of the road
Am                  C/G
With a swish of his magic whip
Dm                          Em
All the people in the party froze
Am         C/G
I was only 21
Dm                   Em
When I watched it on TV
Am                 C/G
I was racing in my heart then

              Am  C/G  Dm  Em
Something you
              Am  C/G  Dm  Em 
Something new
              Am  C/G  Dm  Em
Something you
              Am  C/G  Dm  Em
Something new (Something you knew nothing about)
              Am  C/G  Dm  Em
Something new
              Am  C/G  Dm  Em
Something you

Am             C/G
Here comes the ice cream man
Dm                 Em
Out with his magic whip
Am               C/G
Always sold out by nine
Dm                 Em
So you better come and get it quick

Em             F          Em
   Where's the love song? 
             F
   To set us free

   Too many people down

   Everything turning the wrong way around 
Em             F        Em         F
   And I don't know what love will be 
                   Em       F
   But if we start dreaming now 
                    Em    F         G
   Lord knows we'll never leave the clouds 

[CHORUS:] 
                Em       F
And you've been so busy lately 
         Em                F
that you haven't found the time

To open up your mind

And watch the world spinning gently out of time

We're out of time

Song 2

I felt there were a few things wrong with the chords that were already up so I made my own version. Just the main riff here, I'm sure you can find the correct lyrics elsewhere.

F5

G C E A

5 5 8 8
| | | |

Eb5

G C E A

3 3 6 6

3 5 6 x

infatuated only with ourselves, jusqu'a la fin

Shaking all the way
Cities alive,a surprise so am I
Tea,tea,and coffee,
Get no sleep today


F#              D#m  A#m                     B
And I feel the light in the night and in the day
F#              D#m             A#m               G#m
And I feel the light when the sky's just mud and grey
F#               D#m A#m                     E    F#    E   F#
And I feel the night when you tell me it's okay
E                         G#m    
You're So Great and I love you...

&quot;No Distance Left to Run&quot; is a song by Blur. It is on their 1999 album 13 and was also released as the third and final single from the album, reaching #14 in the UK Singles Chart. It is widely understood to refer to Blur vocalist Damon Albarn's protracted split from long-term lover Justine Frischmann (Elastica's lead vocalist).  Damon Albarn says that he is quite affected of this song: &quot;It upsets me, that song. It upset me singing it. Doing that vocal upset me greatly. To sing that lyric I really had to accept that that was the end of something in my life.

        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me

I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am

Gm          C
Better on my own

[Chorus]

They're gonna watch me disappear into the sun
                 Dm        F           A#
You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun

Liability

A                                     E 
Roll into your town and I'm walking around

And you follow me around, and you're asking for the time

Your asking what I found 
                         A
think I'm gonna rob you blind

maybe it's the tattoo on my arm
        E
that I drew while I was bored waiting tables in new york
Fm                                            D
 a  heart and two flowers intertwined with a vine

I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A

But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice

But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D

Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no

[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine

Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)
Bm                            A

Crash Years

Intro  D     Bm7   G     A     x2


Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7
Now, I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
        Bm7                 F#              G                    A
And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
        Bm7 A   G                              Gm
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away


Interlude   D     Bm7   G     A     x2


Verse 2
          D                           Bm7
Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith


Chorus
          D                        D7
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
           Bm7                   F#                G                    A
When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
         Bm7 A   G                               Gm
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith
 
          D                        D7
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
         Bm7 A    Bm7 A       Bm7 A       G                      G

But lately I just lost the fight

Chorus:

Funny how fallin? feels like flyin?

 For a little while

Funny how fallin? feels like flyin?

 For a little while

      A
I got tired of bein? good
        D
Started missing that old feeling free
     E
Stop actin? like I thought I should
    A
And went on back to bein? me

  
I never meant to hurt no one
  D
I just had to have my way
           E
If there's such a thing as too much fun
A
This must be the price you pay

Funny how fallin? feels like flyin?

 For a little while
E                 A                D
 You never see it comin? till it?s gone
E                     A           D
 It all happens for a reason even when it?s wrong
